Opposition turmoil: a lifeline for BDP

Batswana had a hope that Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) will be their answer come 2019, more than they had hoped in the 2014 general elections. But the fights within the BMD have affected the opposition parties to a point that trust is no longer in existence amongst leaders.

This is so because many had thought UDC leader Duma Boko will declare that he supports his vice president Ndaba Gaolathe when BMD fights got out of control. Boko took his time hoping that the last born of Botswana’s political parties will see which way to go to sort its internal disputes.
